Simpang Lima Gumul, Kediri 

Want to take a picture with the backdrop of the Arc de Triomphe building in Paris but it’s to far to get there? Relax, there is a solution, really. You have to visit Kediri. In the city there is a building that looks similar to the Arc de Triomphe. The gate-shaped building built in 2003 and inaugurated in 2008, has become one of the favorite hangout locations in Kediri. Simpang Lima Gumul, or often called SLG, is actually a meeting of five roads leading to the five areas in Kediri, namely Pagu, Gampengrejo, Pare, Pesantren, and Plosoklaten.

If the Arc de Triomphe was built to honor the fighters in France who fought in the French revolution, the purpose of building the Simpang Lima Gumul Monument is not clear. Some sources say that the construction of SLG was inspired by Jongko Jojoboyo, the king of Kediri Kingdom in the 12th century, who wanted to unite the five regions of Kediri Regency.

In addition to being a city icon and a new sights, SLG is also a new center of economy and commerce. Around this strategic area has been built various public facilities such as meeting hall, intercity bus terminal, temporary market, as well as public recreation facilities such as Water Park Gumul Paradise Island. When I talk about Kediri, I remember a small village that close to SLG, a village that has more than a hundred English course, a village is called Pare Village or mostly known as Kampung Inggris.
